1. Authentic GruppeM ram-air kevlar intake to suit all E46 M3 models. This intake is a two piece design comprising of an intake snorkel that draws air from the front grilles and an airbox section that houses a conical K&N pod filter.

Overall condition is good, the clear coat on the intake section has some cosmetic blemishes from exposure to heat. If you're picky you have the option of re-clearing it. Price when new was $1900, I am asking $900 to account for the above. This is a really rare piece and I'd like to see it go to a good home.

2. A pair of E46 M3 front seats in black nappa leather. They were removed from the car at around 80k and have usage wear as to be expected. They are electric with memory, no lumbar. Inspections welcome and Sydney pick-up only. Also asking $900.

Hi Aaron

Regarding item 1. what is the power gained by fitting this? Is there any or does it only change the engine noise?

I like these was looking for one but unsure on the K&N filter heard so many stories they F%#k your motor..... whats the sound like? how did you find it on your car?

I think you may have taken some of the K&N banter on here literally. I've run this intake without issue for three years.

Seldo, there isn't a huge gain but it will rev smoother and provide a nice induction roar. The advantage of this intake over others is that the filter is enclosed and that it draws air from the front grilles and brake duct.
